Oncolytic poliovirus for human tumors

Human clinical use of a chimeric poliovirus construct has demonstrated excellent anti-tumor effect. The mechanism of action is believed to involve both viral oncolysis as well as immune recruitment, both of which lead to necrosis in the area of the tumor. No adverse effects have been observed.

MODIFIED ANTIBODY AND RADIOACTIVE METAL-LABELLED ANTIBODY

The present invention relates to a labeling technique which can facilitate the metabolism in the liver after administration to patients without the reduction in the antibody function, thereby reducing accumulation of radionuclides in an organ such as the liver, and provides a modified antibody containing an IgG antibody and an IgG-binding peptide bound to the IgG antibody. The IgG-binding peptide has an amino acid sequence consisting of 13 to 17 amino acid residues, such as GPDCAYH(Xaa1)GELVWCTFH wherein Xaa1 represents a lysine residue, a cysteine residue, an aspartic acid residue, a glutamic acid residue, 2-aminosuberic acid, or diaminopropionic acid, and a compound represented by the following formula (II-1) is linked at a position of the lysine residue via a modification linker to the N terminus of the IgG-binding peptide.

Sentinel lymph node marker capable of multi-mode imaging

The present invention relates to a sentinel lymph node marker comprising an albumin; a radioactive isotope and/or near infrared dye which is bound to the albumin; and a visible dye which is bound to the albumin, a preparation method thereof, and a kit for multimode imaging of a sentinel lymph node to prepare the sentinel lymph node marker. The sentinel lymph node marker of the invention remains in the sentinel lymph node for a long period of time and allows for multimode imaging of the sentinel lymph node. Thus, using this marker the sentinel lymph node can be accurately identified in vivo by near infrared imaging and/or gamma imaging without incision of skin, and the location of the identified sentinel lymph node can be precisely identified with the naked eye during a surgical operation of removing the identified sentinel lymph node.
